Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[lenquixote66]

TSOTD is Abbey Road from the Beatles collection.For years I did not wear it.I just kept it as a collectible item.Several years ago I wore it on a cruise.

I was sitting outside and a guy approached me wearing the same shirt.He sat down ,we introduced ourselves and proceeded to have a long discussion on The Beatles as well as the British influence on Classic Rock.He was from the UK and surprised that I shared his opinion on many British singers and groups.

Rabbit Rabbit 🐇 White rabbit for the first of the month.

It is cloudy here and 63°F.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling day.

White Rabbit is one of my all time favorite songs .If you want to hear somebody sing it who in my opinion is better than Grace Slick google Melissa League.There is a video on You Tube of the band she is in .I saw her sing it live several times.

Happy Birthday to @h20skibum Mark’s daughter and to @Ocean Boy!

After last weekends cookout, we realized we need to find a way to provide a shaded area around the pool for the grill and a table for food & drinks.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.  I like the looks of the grill cover.

@Luckynana, Maryann, your grandchildren are just amazing with all their achievements.  I see Ava as a lovely young lady.  Jack and Ryan as fine young men.  
 

@Momof3gurlz, Deb, I love the idea of the overhang in your backyard for the BBQ setup.  So great that Handy Andy will be able to put it together.

 

@aussielozzie18, thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures.  They are awesome.

 

My mom celebrated her 96th birthday Sunday 5/28.  We all celebrated with her with all her children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  

Thank you for the birthday wishes, and happy belated birthday to your mom.

This was the first thing I thought of too.  Jefferson Airplane was the first big concert I attended.  I saw them later when they change their name to Jefferson Starship. Great memories!

Happy Birthday to your daughter and SIL.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Our oldest grandson Andrew had his band concert this week in which he had a brief solo. His Mom snapped this picture just before it started. This year he moved from clarinet to saxophone, which his Mom also played throughout Jr and Sr high school.  

Andrew is looking good for his band concert.   I am sometimes surprised how good some of them sound.

Good evening.  Took advantage of an evening of nice weather to head into Circular Quay straight after work to view a little of Vivid Sydney - our annual light, ideas and music festival.  Took me a leisurely fours hours to walk a loop from Circular Quay to The Rocks to Barangaroo to Darling Harbour to stop and view some of the installations along the way.

 

Started with the Sydney Opera House, which never disappoints. 
The illuminations on the Opera House’s sails this year spotlights the paintings of the late Australian artist Jon Olsen and his enduring fascination with Australia’s nature & landscapes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing photos.

Sydney is on our cruise wish list.

First of all, your grandson Andrew is adorable!!!  Secondly, I love the Saxophone!!! Andrew must be very talented to be given a Solo during his school concert.  You all have to be so proud!!!!!  Congratulations Andrew!!

Mine is the same length and style now.  Does that mean I am still young at heart?

 

 I know, having a lot of hair is a rarity for an old guy, my age.

I wonder if that means a shorter season or more content with less film on the edit room floor?

What it means is that they want me to sit and watch tv for 3 hours on top of my 30 minutes for Jeopardy. That’s insane!

If I record anything on tv, I never get around to watching it. Woe is me!!

Then walked under the Harbour Bridge and came across this amazing installation at Pier One. It was a combo of water, video projection & sound.  Amazing.  (Couldn’t find the info sign in the dark for this one) and my photos don’t do it justice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your pictures are always so awesome, Aussie!  What an incredible area you live in.  Thank you for sharing!

I’m like a toddler running after an ice cream truck. 
the faster I run, the farther away it gets!

So to those with kids, grandkids, and great grandkids graduating, Congratulations!

To the young ‘uns going to a prom, I  hope your dreams were fulfilled

To those who have a mother celebrating a birthday, I hope you know you’re lucky to still have her. 
To you guys fortunate enough to celebrate starting a new year, Happy Birthday, and many happy returns of the day!

And  now I need to get going, and fall another half dozen pages behind!!!❤️❤️
